My truck has been sitting for almost exactly one year. Now I am going to get it up and running, and I am concerned about that first start up. Wondering what kind of suggestions you guys have. I dont remember exactly how much fuel was left in the tank. I am figuring I will have some sediment, but...

This Bronco is kind of a joint ownership deal with my grandpa and I. It has bounced back and forth between the two of us and neither of us really use it anymore so he is wanting to try and sell it. It is a 1980, 4X4, 4spd manual, with a 390 swapped into it. It was originally a State vehicle...

Driving along, normal, maybe 1/4 throttle, truck shifts to 3rd, hear a bang, truck jerks, and no more gears. Just free revs in all gears, manually shift the lever and no response. Drive shaft is in tact. Next thought is input shaft??? I dont know enough abou trans stuff to make an educated...

I was going to do sway bar end links on my Early 99 this weekend. At Ford we were trying to make sure we got the right ones for the early 99 since they are different than the 99.5+. The two options are definitely different from each other. Now I can't remember which one was listed as early and...

I know what valve float is, but have never heard or seen a truck when it happens, so I'm wondering what goes on that you know it's valve float? Flutter in the gauge, noises etc? A couple times I've had some loud, quick backfire type sounds going on. Only when racing, floored, at the top of...

I know that the E99's have different hub assemblies and different size rotors, and that you can swap them out for the 99.5 style, as it is cheaper and all. My question is, what if you just swapped one side? What kind of problems might there be with doing this? I'm honestly not thinking of dong...

I'm planning on going through the entire front end and replacing stuff. It's just all kinds of sloppy, bouncing around, wearing out tires etc. I'm trying to do this on the cheaper side, but want quality parts, just don't need the overly extravagant stuff. So I'm looking for a list of parts you...

Truck has been acting wierd, so I pulled codes tonight. I got 6 total and some are explainable and expected, but looking for some input on a few. P0238-Turbo Boost Sensor A circuit low input P0471- EBPS circuit intermittent P0475- EBPV error P1316- Injector Circuit/IDM codes detected P1670-...

A guy at work has a superduty, and he is always asking me stuff about it. Well today he asked if I could help him pull injectors because he thinks he broke a nozzle off. I asked him what it was doing because it didn't seem very likely with a fairly low mileage stock truck. He doesn't speak...

My truck will usually make a bit of a mOaning sound if you are sitting still and turn the wheel, not bad but you can hear it. Also if you are stopped and push harder on the brakes I will normally get a bit of a moan, and in both instances you can hear it just puts a little more strain on the...

Injectors installed, no crank, no start. Could use some help figuring this out. Installed my injectors, and new chip. As far as I know I did everything right, based on all the instructions I could find. Turn key on, crank, and it gets about 1/4 to 1/2 of a crank and then nothing, lights on...

I pulled my injectors and looking at them had me wondering. When looking at the injector tips, what do the different conditions that they may be in, indicate? Some looked nice and clean and gold colored, some looked silver with a bit of gold, some looked burnt a bit. All O-rings looked to be...

If there are no signs of a problem with them, should I change them anyway while I'm doing injectors? They aren't expensive so I'm thinking I might as well, but buying or borrowing the special tool would add a little more hassle. More curious if it is one of those things that if it is fine...
